2. Click Auto or Manual Setup 
3. Cancel to back out 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2 Manual Mode  
 
    Using the jog functions 
 

 

 

1. Select the number of gears on 

your cassette. 

2. You need to find the position of 

the smallest and largest gear. 
You can either input this data 
directly with the keypad (If you 
know the correct number), or 
you can manually jog the 
derailleur to find. 

3. Using the jog buttons, move the 

derailleur until it is precisely 
centered on the smallest gear. 
You must turn the pedals while 
jogging derailleur! 

4. 

Press “Load from current” to 
load that position into the small 
cog box. (If you already know 
this number, then simply input 
with the keypad). 

5. Now jog the derailleur to the 

largest gear until it is perfectly 
centered on the cog. 

6. 

Press “Load from current to load 
that position into the large cog 
box. 

7. Note: There is 2 radio buttons 

on the bottom, natural and 
linear. Linear will divide the 
spacing exactly even. Natural 
will attempt to simulate typical 
gear spacing, the larger cogs 
will have slightly larger spacing 
than the smaller cogs. 
Generally, Natural is better. 

8. Press Finish and wait a few 

seconds for the data to be 
loaded and saved on the ELink. 
You should hear the ELink re-
calibrate. 

 
Step 2a 

 

 

This is what the app looks like 
after you are done Step 2. 

 In most cases, the gear shifting 

should be nearly perfect. But 
you may need to go to the 
TUNE screen to fine tune the 
gear positions. 

 After the initial setup and tuning, 

you should not need to re-tune. 
But occasionally you may need 
to compensate for cable stretch 
and wear, so you should use 
cable length to adjust the gears. 

 

 See below steps in the Tune 

section for fine adjustments to 
the shifting. 

 The next section shows how the 

system looks for a 10 gear 
cassette. 

NOTE:  Once you set the ELink 
with the Auto or Manual setup 
process.  You will have to make 
future adjustment to the ELinks 
using the Manual setup and or the 
tune calibration pages.
